Woop! April 28, 2009

This is the only word that can sum up how incredibly excited and happy I am. I have booked my holiday. In just over a month me and my lovely boy will be jetting of to the sunny climes of the Bodrum peninsular in Turkey. Even Ben (the notoriously unshakable Ben) sent me a sweet excited “we are going on holiday” text this morning. Times are good.

I am just about resisting putting an exclamation point on the the end of the every sentence. It would successfully portray my ridiculous and quickly tedious hyperness, but I worry anyone who stayed past the title woop would give up all hope after the fifth “!!”

Here is the apartment block:

And here is the little resort where we will be. It’s a great location – quiet with not much nightlife (mine and Ben’s biggest thing – just one bar for the occasional cocktail, but no late night drunken parties!). Just close enough to the lovely city of Bodrum, and apparently full of great restaurants. It’s not particularly Turkish, but as will all holidays if you want to get involved in the culture you just get out and about to experience it.

Anyways, enough about my holiday. I swear I will get over it in the next few days and return to my normal boring self! Sans-exclamation points!

On another note, I am planning on updating my blogroll this afternoon (categorising a bit more, my list is getting super long currently). If you feel you’ve been missed off or want to be added, just let me know!

Oh my god, I am so jealous!!!! I haven’t been on holiday in 3 years. It looks just perfect. I imagine you could get some cool fabrics in Turkey?
I’ve added your blog to my favorites/blogroll, please feel free to add me too 🙂

Hi Duckman – I actually really like the area – it was quiet, the beaches were largely just cushions (no decent sand) and the area was a great base – I also found that if you wnet a few steps back from the sea, there were still affordable and yummy restaurants! I must admit we spent a lot of time on day trips, but all in all I would recommend it as a good destination still a little more “turkish” than other areas of the coast.
